Donald Trump is not doing particularly great right now. Not unlike every day of the last seeming-million years with Trump in the White House, the Donald has been beset by stories of corruption and dirty dealings, stories contradicting everything he says he’s doing and has done. In 2015 and 2016 this seemed to work well enough for him to win the Electoral College against Hillary Clinton. Part of that was because Clinton came with decades of misinformation piled on top of her by way of the right-wing propaganda machine, and part of that was due to Trump having next to no nationally known record of anything outside of hosting a reality show. Now, we have the plague.
As a result, attempts to recreate the Trump win of yesteryear are all that Trump and his surrogates seem to have. This playbook includes wildly projecting one’s own insecurities and failings onto others. Donald Trump Jr. has been able to follow in his father’s footsteps, earning a place in history as one of the great failures of society. Junior appeared on Fox & Friends Thursday morning to do some damage control ahead of Thursday night’s upcoming debate. You read that right: Junior came in to explain why his father will get killed at tonight’s debate. The one in the future. It turns out, it’s because of all kinds of QAnon stuff, liberal media stuff, secret powers, and other nonsense gibberish.
Help Democratic representatives take back state legislatures by donating what you can. Everything helps.
But before Donny Jr. came on to speak with the “friends,” he tweeted this out.
This is the mindset of someone lost in the speedy torrent of Alice in Wonderland-ian mania. A quick reminder: On Monday, reports came out that Donald Trump had a secret bank account in China that he left off his financial disclosure statements. Anyways! Junior came to Fox & Friends and he was hot! After mysteriously claiming that Trump’s people would have someone “monitoring” the mute button during the debate, and then saying that Hillary Clinton messed with Trump’s mic in a 2016 debate, Junior launched into this:
DONALD TRUMP JR.: This moderator, apparently is, you know, a big Obama administration person. I mean you literally can't make up the nonsense. When you look at the bias that we face on a daily basis, it's literally hard to believe that we are in a free country in America.
It is literally hard to believe. It’s figuratively hard to believe. It’s galactically hard to believe that Donald Trump Jr. isn’t in jail.
Junior then launched into tech companies censoring Trump and his allies, something that is demonstrably the opposite of true. In fact, one might say it is “literally hard to believe.”
From there, Junior explained how Joe Biden is “compromised by corrupt foreign regimes.” He really did say that. But, after wedging in some more mentions of Hunter Biden and Joe Biden creating big bank accounts filled with money, Junior made this amazing remark:
TRUMP JR.: I mean money tied to human trafficking and prostitution rings and the other one. That’s another big one. The Chinese money. Joe Biden is compromised 100 percent.
I’m starting to worry that Trump and his family might be literally involved in human trafficking and prostitution. That is literally easy to believe at this point, knowing what we know about their willingness to vocalize their own sins and criminal behaviors by projecting them onto their perceived enemies.
